The important intelli — Renee from Madrid, of which • we publish most ample and interesting details, has not wine unexpectedly upon our readers. The Constitu tion of 1812 has been accepted by the Queen : its proclamation through the provinces has been coin , mended it is virtually the system of government in operation throughout the entire country. It is impos sible wholly t o separate f rom t he consideration of any political change the means by which it may have been effected. To even the most sanguine admirers of the Constitution of 1812, the scenes which accompanied its uroclamation at La -Granja and Madrid must be a source of deep regret and humiliation. The rude en try of a body of drunken soldiers int o th e pr i vate apart anent of the Queen Relent ; th e extort i on from her • fears of assent to all their demands ; the humbled con dition that obliged her to hold parley with the intru ders from whom she with difficulty escaped to Madrid ; all these throw a very gloomy colouring over the proceedings at La Granja. The murder of Quesada, the revolting circumstances, too, by which it was accompanieu, h ave d eep l y stained the success of the popular movement at Madrid. But, giving to all -these circumstances the full weight to which they are entitled ; allowing to them all the consideration with which we know they will be invested.; condemning, and deplorin g , as we most sincerely do, the s cenes o f t h e 14th, 1 - sth, and 16th, they still cannot have the slightest possible influence upon the validity of the change that has been made in the form of the Spanish Constitution. Le peuple le veut. We have waited the details—not alone from Malaga, Cadiz, Seville, and Saragossa—but those which we to-day publish from Madrid and other parts of the country ; and from these the fact seems incontestably proved that the pro clamation of the Constitution, no matter what the ulti mate object of that proceeding may have been, is the act of the people. To us it seems that the proclama tion of the Constitution of 1812 was but the indica tion of a general, deep, and well-founded dissatis faction ; that it is not " a cry of revolt and revolution" —a demand for the abolition of monarchical institu tions ; but that it was the natural expression of po pular feeling, first trifled with, then scoffed at, and finally attempted to be trampled upon. But we stop not to inquire of what it es the evidence, or of what it is likely to be the harbinger. What we have said before we repeat—that the Constitution of 1812 is not a system we think fitted for Spain, or, if set up unmodified, destined to endure. It sprung Up out of one of those convulsions which at once produces and accounts for the heterogeneous compound of republican and monarchical principles that are found standing side by side in every chapter. To the enthusiasm of the people it was necessary to make sacrifices greater in extent than in a moment of tranquillity could be yielded with safety to the Throne, while there were in terests engaged in the struggle for Spanish freedom whose co-operation could only have been secured by the yroclarnationof a system that opmed some prospect fcr the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. The Constitution of 1812 was framed with a view to satisfy these conflicting powers —accepted by one as the realization of their most sanguine hopes ; tolerated by the other for the good it would effect in rallying .the people round a common standard. But, whether that Constitution be wise in its principles or prudent in its provisions, it has been called for by the people. We think they ought to, and we think they will, modify it greatly—modify it so as to bring it into harmony with the institutions of the other countries of Western Eu rope. Let their determination, however, be what it may—let them modify their Constitution or establish it with its wildest theories—it is for no third party to step in between them and the accomplishment of their wishes. No frivolous pretence that the Royal sanc tion was wrung from the Queen will justify an unholy crusade against popular liberty. We care not ; it is - wholly beside the question whether the Sovereign con sents voluntarily, or under duresse, to the wishes of her subjects. It. will be sufficient for us if effect has been given to the wishes of her subjects. The people of England still boast of a charter wrung from the fears of one tyrant ; the King of the French wields a sceptre that was wrested from the hands of another. Do the dreamers that call for intervention " to preserve order" mean to tell us that the coercion of John, the expul sion of James, or Charles the Tenth, invalidate Magna Charta, the Revolution of 1688, or the Charter of 1830 ?—Morning Chronicle. The Ministerial prints have taken occasion from what is called, in conformity, we suppose, with the theatrical taste of Lord Mulgrave, " the opening of a Roman Catholic Cathedral at Tuam," to glory and gloat over the advanced and flourishing condition of Popery, and to jeer and flout at what they call the de pressed condition of Protestantism in Ireland. Re volting and disgusting as this must be to every sincere Protestant, it can surprise no one. The Prime Mi nister proposed to Parliament a measure, " for giving a heavy blow and a great discouragement to Protes tantism" in Ireland. It was natural that the people in his pay should speak on that hint, and insult the faith of their ancestors, that they might curry favour with the Treasury. In truth, we are astonished only that they have not gone further, and declared that the reli gion of the Papists " is indestructible," and has "in trinsic superiority to Protestantism." One of the prints in question uses these, very words, but puts them into the mouths of Papists, adding, That for itself, it repudiates them. Our readers will re collect hearing of a practice which is said to have obtained in olden times in the King's Bench Pri son. When a Sheriff's officer, or an attorney made his appearance there, some cowardly and cautious knave would exclaim,—" Don't pump upon him." We need hardly say that upon that hint the u nlucky limb of the law was under the pump, and drenched to the skin, as soon as the most impatient repudintor of Pumping could- desire. Such tricks are as common as the thimble-rig itself. By the way, what do these most intelligent instruments of an enlightened Govern ment mean by " the progress of Catholicism ?" We thought that " for ever and a day," and " all the world and his wife," and the like phrases were used only in joke : vet here we have a more preposterously Para_ doxical expression palmed upon us with almost official gravity. Having thus covertly stricken at Protes tantism itself, the Ministerial critique on the " open ing" of the Cathedral at Tuam intimates, that the circumstance of Protestantism not having made greater way in Ireland is the fault of that pea of the Established Church which is settled ill that country. The same complaint has been made) againstagainst the missionaries of Christianity among the savages, and with about as much reason in botl, cases ; for the fault has been in each with those who wilfully and obstinately blinded their eves to the light of truth : while, with regard to the treatment of the of the prey cri ers , t h e Irish have diared only p from ersons the savage's, inasmuch as, whereas the sava es scaled the Inlssicinarics, th e I r i sh have murdered Protestant parsons with greater barbarity —witness the case of Mr. Houston. And yet the clergy are to ln the nambe bl ame d of common sense, are the Irish clergy tt, be reproached for not having worked miracles ? dy e do not address ours e l ves to t h e i gnorant or iniquitous instruments of a Papist-ridden GoverP.Thent but t o our well-informed and single-mineded readers, o f what ever sect of Protestantism, and. of whatever olitics, investigatio n o f the difficul when we entreat a patieri', p ties with which the Irish Church has had to contend in the perferman'ec of the difficult and dangerous la bour of plane,no- the pure faith of Protestantism in this corm.pt soil of Popery. If during the period which elapsed between the conquest of Ireland and the Icign of Ch ar l es I. t h e P ro t es t an t teac h ers had bee n able to gain tine ear of the benighted peasantry of lreland, still the events of the Civil Wars would have destroyed all the good work they had achieved in that country. An armed Papist population, .with a Pope's nuncio at their head, offered a spectacle from which Luther himself might have s h run k with despair—and it is no torious that the foul and atrocious massacre that occurred immediately previous to the breaking out of the unhappy troubles of th e 1 7th century, at the de tails of which the heart even now sickens and the blood runs cold ! had sosteelett the hearts of the inha bitants of. England and of Scotland a g ainst "tire bloody Irish papists," as they wer e termed even in tire Parliamentary proceedings, that the subjugation of Ireland—not its conversion,--wholly occupied men's \ thoughts for many years afterwards. The Papists be gan by expelling the Protestant clergy, who subsisted on the charity of their English friends, or obtained, like the celebrated Archbishop Usher, prefetment itl commcmiam, in this country, until . the Papist rebels should be put clown. A tedi , ons and terrible time succeeded, and then who will look carefully at its history, will see, that from the Restorati& until the extinguishment of the hove! 'or 'tile Pretender, the Ch urc h, lik e the St , ,tt, 'could hardly maintain its footing in Irela.t4. Thenceforward, until the Union, and from the Union until now, the Church has had equal difficulties to contend with ; and in proof that it is neither to Protestantism nor its teachers that the small progress of the Refolmett faith is to be at tributed, we point to the fact that, during the periods we have mentioned, the Government of Great Britain obtained no more willing allegiance than its religion gained proselytes. For the present prospect, how dif fers it from the former ? Why, the " abolition of tithes" is no more terrible to the Church, than the " repeal of the Union" is to the Std.te—the Irish are Do less anti-British than they arc anti-Protestant. We lament, heartily lament, this truth, for we are sur e that the civili za ti on , an d th e consequent temporal prosperity of the Irish, can only be achieved by their becomin , obedient and faithful subjects of the King and we believe that the Church, of which that King is the head, offers them a purer faith and altars less defiled, than that over which the Bishop of Rome presides.— Times. A Correspondent of an Evening Paper, in reference to . the splendid subscription now raising under the auspices of the Bishop of London, towards building places of worship in the metropolis, suggests, that, as well on the . score of expense, as with a view of in creasing devotion, these new churches shall not be fin:- nished with organs. On every -ground but the first—. that of expense—we believe this writer to.be under 4% mistake, and still more so when he refers to Dissent ing chapels for a proof of his position. No one can be an attendant on public worship in the principal and most frequented churches of the metropolis, as St. James, Westminster ; St. George, Hanover-square ; the Marylebone Churches, and others, without bearing testimony to the fact, that the improved Psalmody there introduced, aided by the " pealing organs," has had great i n fl uence i n filli ng them, and' keeping them full. We do not mean to insinuate that ' the majority of well-disposed religious people go to church to have their cars pleased with musical notes ; but that going there, with " the °Tering of prayer and praise," they as naturally wish to have their devotion heightened and enlivened by the aid of the musical instrument so exclusively fitted for the church service, as they are -anxious to hear the prayers well read and the sermon impressively preached. Indeed, so essential is this become in aid of the church service, that all attempts to have an effectual psalmody without it have. uniformly failed ; and it is notorious that in country churches organs have for that reason been introduced to an extent of late years never before contemplated, and that not without a view of counteracting dissent. We trust then that this Correspondent's advice will not be taken. Should it be listened to, we feel persuaded that its effect will be just the reverse of that which be contemplates, and that we shall hear of the new churches being deserted because there are no organs.— Morning Herald. The Mountaineer had just left the quay at Havre on Tuesday morning, and bad proceeded about 100 yards, when a gentleman, named Read, whose luggage was on board, made his appearance, and finding that the packet had sailed, engaged a French boat to row him alongside the vessel. The wily Frenchmen, however, endearoured to impose upon their passenger, by demanding more than the originally agreed fare ; but they had the wrong person to deal with. Mr. Read re monstrated for a short time, when finding it useless, he leaped into The sea and swam towards the packet. The Frenchmen stared aghast. A rope was thrown out from the Mountaineer, and Mr. Read was hauled into the vessel, with no loss except that of his hat. —Brighton Gazette. In reference to the recent appointment of Factory Inspector of Mr. Stuart, the Hull Express says, Mr. Leonard Horner bad succeeded to Mr. Rickards's district ; and Mr. Stuart will, of course, succeed Mr. Horner. Leamington, like its compeers, Cheltenham, liar rowgate, is now in full enjoyment of its season, being filled with fashionable and distinguished company. The theatre, under the management of Mr. C.

About five o'clock on Saturday morning, an alarm ing and destructive fire broke out in the premises at the Perth Road, at present occupied by the Messes. Miller, as a bake house and granaries. Nearly an hour elapsed before the en gines were in attendance, and the fire had gained such an as cendancy as defied for a time the utmost exertions of the fire men and others to make any head against it. In the short space of two hours the whole building was a mass of ruins, the roof having fallen in, carrying with it the grain deposited in the upper flat, and it was only then that the flames were ef fectually checked. The loss will be very heavy. The pro perty was not insured, and as no less than eight hundred b o ll s of grain were on t h e prem i ses, the greater part of which was destroyed, Messrs. Miller must be sufferers to the extent of 1,0001. or 1,200/.—.Elinburgh Advertiser.

GRAND DAHLIA SHOW.—Yesterday a splendid competition among the dahlia-growers took place at the Colos seum, Regent's Park ; and the company, though not so nu merous as is usual on these occasions, was fashionable for the season.

IMPORTANT INVENTION.—A free man of colour, Henry Blair by name, has invented a machine called the corn planter, which is now exhibiting at the capital of Washington. The Intelligence describes it as a very simple and ingenious machine, which as moved by a horse, opens the furrows, drops (at proper intervals, and in an exact and suitable quantity) the corn as rapidly as a horse can draw a plough over the ground. The inventor thinks it will save the labour of eight men. He is about to make some alterations in it, to adapt it to the planting of eotton.__Ncw York Paper.

Wigney, of Barcombe, had just done milking a cow, when he was suddenly seized with a paralytic fit, and con veyed home in a state of insensibility. It is most extraordi nary that the grandfather of the lad, some years ago, fell off a walnut-tree, and was killed. About two years ago, the brother of the lad, a remarkably fine youth, about seven years of age, was killed by a beam falling on his head, in a barn which some workmen were pulling down. About six weeks ago, the father of this lad, a most industrious man, whilst employed in thatching a hay-stack, overreached himself, the ladder upon which he was standing slipped away, he fell, and broke his back. He still lives, contrary to the expectation "of the medical men who attended him, but is bediidden, and his lower extremities are entirely bereft of feeling or motion. The wife of this poor man is now confined by her seventh or eighth child, in the same house with her husband, and the lad who was conveyed home on Cunday.

COUNSEL , Mr. ADOLPHUS, ‘ FatTlCr at the eriillinal Law Bar: , rose to addresS,Me §taiing that he was not in attendanW! hi I,llat Court on Monday, the 15th instant, 'Mien the President of the Court had addressed certain observations to the Bar on the new " Prisoner's Counsel Bill." He only knew of them from the newspaper report s; but in general he had entirely concurred with them: He suggested that when Counsel intetwitd to reply (under the new Act), they should state what he meant to prove—an alibi, for instance, or otherwise ; that would save time and the matter would be well understood. He would humbly suggest that, as they were then in at ut* position, the judges of the land had heart b *consulted.. As to the point men tioned by the .Learned Chairman—as to the cross-exami nation of witnesses to character—he had never entertained a doubt. He had always thought it an anomaly that they should not be examined—they ought always to be examined. The Learned Counsel concluded by reiterating his appro bation of the address of the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN, in stating his satisfaction that his great object, the calling the attention of the gentlemen of the Bar to this subject, had been attained, said that the re. port in the newspapers of what he had formerly said was correct, with the et etption that instead of saying " I shall not be the first person to take away the right of reply," he said ho should not be the first person to give it. (The Learned Chairman was understood to apply his observa tion to cases in which witnesses to character, only, were called.) The Chairman here repeated part of his state ment made on the former day. Some further conversation ensued as to the practice at Nisi Fritts, but of no importance, as the " practice" for the future is not yet settled. • The appeal cases were of no interest, and the Cottrt adjourned after one hour's sitting. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A lady, attended by a solicitor, appeared before Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER, to make a voluntary affidavit with respect to a considerable sum of money in-the funds to which she is entitled, and which, as we understood, it was intended should be chargeable with certain annuities in the event of other property not being adequate to .pay them. Frequent applications are made to the Chief Magis trate on occasions of this kind, and have been considered generally rather as matters of form than anything else. Alderman VAltkilltOTHEß impressed upon the lady the necessity of consulting the trustee.; try a subject of very groat importance to her, inatlitich as she might by a stroke of the pen destroy Ur interest in the property. He had, he said, ItAltti a lady 1,7001. by checking her impetuosity at a tiM when, in his mayoralty, she was going headlong to sign away her claim to that amount. The 'solicitor said that the trustees to the property were aware of the applicant's intention to have the affidavit sworn, and acquiesced in that intention. Nothing was meant but what was serviceable to the lady and her family, and perfectly legitimate ; and Magistrates were not in the habit of rejecting such applications when made with the perfect will of the owners of the property, Alderman FAREBUOTHER said he was far from question ing the honourable intentions of the husband of the lady, and of the solicitor s but be perfectly well knew from his own experience in business how exceedingly precarious the payment of annuities was ; how soon a woman might be beggered by putting her signature to documents with the nature of which she was unacquainted, and what ruinous consequences often followed the too great readiness to do what was often called a matter of form. Mr. HOBLER said it was well known that ladies who were newly married did not know the meaning of half the things they put their signatures to. The Solicitor said that ho had no wish that the lady should sign any paper without consulting her trustees in the most full and satisfactory manner as to the course she was about to take, and should even postpone the business until sht should have the opportunity. Alderman FAREBROTHER—I wishlthat she should do so, for from my knowledge of transactions of this kind, I al ways consider it my duty to give this caution. I wish it, however, to be distinctly understood that 1 mean not to in sinuate anything whatsoever against any one in this case. In a matter likely to affect a woman's future prosperity and comfort it is,the particular duty of a Magistrate to advise the utmost caution. The parties then withdrew. They were stated to be very respectable on all sides. BOW-STREET. Charles 111 1 Ghee, the young .man who was charged at this office on Monday with stealing 1001., the prope r ty o f his master, M r . B arron , t h e buildr, of St. Martin's-lane, was brought up for re-examination. The prisoner, it will be recollected, received a check for 1001. from Mr. Goodall, a clerk in Mr. Barron's service, with directions that he should get it cashed, obtaining 201. in silver, 25/. in half sovereigns, and the remainder in sove reigns. On the same day he received cash at the banker's, the money, however, being given to him in gold at his own request. He did not return to the counting-house to ac count for the money which was procured for the purpose of paying the workmen, and was not heard of until Monday, the 22(1 of August. He was then seen by a lad named Ligh, a stoneman, employed by Mr. Barron, proceeding to Nicholson's wharf, Lower Thames -street, for the purpose of going on board a steam-boat for Ramsgate. Ligh directly seized him, and gave him into custody to Clapham, a po. liceman, who was also on the spot, and he was conveyed to the station-house. On his being there searched 634 14s. l I d. were found on him, which he admitted he had received with other money, in payment for the check. The remainder, he said, be bad muddled away. The prisoner said nothing, and was fully committed for trial. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Benjamin Bennett was yesterday brought before Mr. CONANT and Mr. HALL, charged with the following ex traordinary robbery : About four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon a discovery vvas made that three tables of an expensive description bad been removed from the warcrooms of Mr. W. Knapp, up holsterer and cabinetmaker, No. 21, Lower Grosvenor street. No one could give any account of their abstrac tion, and it was correctly supposed that the thief must have taken' advantage of the situation of the double wareroom, which is so constructed as to prevent those in the inner place from commanding a view of the door, and bad made three separate journeys for the tables. About seven o'clock a )oung woman who was employed on the premises perceived the prisoner looking in at the door as if to see that the coast was clear, and, suspecting from his manner that he had come for another table, and was privy to the removal of the other three, she informed Mr. Knapp, who immediately pursued him, and caused him to be taken into custody by policeman Lowman, C 60. Mr. Knapp said when informed of the strange loss of the tables he questioned the young woman who had been in the warehouse during the whole of the day ; but she could not give tho'slightest clue to the affair. After the young woman hail informed him of her suspicions respect ing the prisoner/ he immediately followed him. He saw that the prisoner was considerably intoxicated, and further noticed that in his progress down Regent -street he insulted several respectable females. Mr. Knapp said his indigna tion was so great at the prisoner's condtrct that he was almost tempted to knock him down ; but he refrained, and continued to follow him until the prisoner got into Oxford street. The prisoner saw that he was watched, and he turned round, and asked Mr. Knapp what he meant by following him ? Mr. Knapp replied that it was his inten tion to give him into the custody of the first policeman ,that made his appearance. The prisoner was conveyed to the station-house and searched. On his person was found a number of duplicates, two of which related to the stolen tables. One of them was found to have been pledged with Mr. Gifton, Gilbert-street, for 155., and the other with Mr. David Henderson, No. 75, Brewer-street, Somers town, for ss. The young woman, in the meantime, proceeded to make inquiries, and learned that a person answering the descrip tion of the prisoner had been seen carrying tables at dif ferent periods of the day. She further ascertained, that one of the tables, containing a beautiful rose antique marble centre, had been damaged by the centre falling out on the stones, and being split in pieces, part of which the person who was earryitv , the table had given to a young man in the employ of Mr. Donovan, fishmonger, Bond-street. The young man was applied to, and he produced a piece of the marble, which he proVed the prisoner had given to him. Mr. CONANT inquired if the pawnbrokers were present with the property ; only two of the tables had been found ? —Mr. Knapp said Mr. Gifton was present, and a young man in the employ of Mr. Henderson ; the latter pawn -broker having told him he should not attend himself. Mr. Henderson's assistant said his employer could not leave the business, but had sent him, as h e was present when the prisone r came i n t o the shop with the table, and therefore was well acquainted with the particulars ofthe case. The young man proceeded to state that the prisoner on Wednesday afternoon brought a work-table, and asked Mr. Henderson to lend him something on it. Mr. Henderson said he would lend four shillings, and the prisoner asked , for more money. Mr. Henderson desired him (witness) to look at the table, and see.i it was worth a larger advance. Witness looked at the Wile and saw that it was consider ably damaged, and told Mr. Henderson of that circum stance. Hr. Henderson, although disinclined to take in the pledge at all, from want of room, at length agreed to lend os., and a duplicate was Made out to the prisoner accordingly. Mr. CONANT---=Praf what is the value of the table ? Mr. Knappit i 3 woctli about in its present State it would :fet . :.'ll,at 3fiLlo; 3 9 . I wiMi id. ant. if it is a 'ream' thing lot' persons who bring pledges to a pawn broker's shop to spend the money in treating the pawn broker with wine? Mr. CONANT—It would be a very discreditable proceed ing, I should think. Mr. Knapp—When we sclrv,hed the prittnnyr, pollen acre rtlrfaiit toad a wine glass on him. This led to an inquiry, and the policeman ascertained that, after the pt.'= seiner had got five shillings on the table from Mr. Hender son, he went to the opposite public-house, paid half-a- crown for a brittle dl wide,broUght it to the shop, and drank it with the pawnbroker. Mr. CONANT (to the Assistant)—What explanation have you to give of that circumstance ? Assistant—The priso ner was very troublesome, and would insist upon treating Mr. Henderson ; and Mr. Henderson, with a view of get ting rid of the nuisance, allowed the prisoner to Fetch a bottle of wine, and to offer him a glass, which Mr. Hender saner just put to his lips. I had a glass also, and the pri soner would also make some of the customers in the shop drink with bite, MK CONANT—Pray how long have you been in the trade ? Assistant—Some months with Mr. Henderson, and three years with a former employer. Mr. CONANT—And do you mean to say that you bad no suspicion of a man who had brought an expensive piece of furniture, obtained but five shillings on it, and then went and spent at least half the sum in treating persons in your shop ? Assistant—Sir, I had no suspicion. The prisoner being somewhat troublesome and intoxicated, it was only to get rid of him that he was allowad to bring the wine into the shop. The prisoner had pledged valuable property at, the shop for some time before. Mr. NNANT—What hadhe pledged ? About a year agti he pledged shirts to the amount of thirty shillings. lie had pledged other things since that time. A person—Your Worship, I have examined the injuries to the table, and I certainly think the mutilations have been made not by the prisoner. The table, which appears quite new, seems to have been injured to cover some design. Assistant—The table is in the exact state in which the prisoner brought it to our shop. It has not been mutilated while in our possession. Mr. CONANT—I don't think the mode of business which has just been described at all a respectable one. Why is Mr. Henderson not here ? Mr. Knapp—He told me he should not come. Mr. CONANT—He must and shall come, or his attend ance will he compelled. Mr. Gifton's assistant came forward anti accounted for the table being taken in as a pledge. He said the prisoner came into the shop with the table, apparently in a great passion, and asked 30s. to be advanced on it. He was asked who he was, and in a pretended huff he replied he was a respectable tradesman in the furniture line, living at Vauxhall, and he had brought the table all the way to Grosvenor-street at the request of a gentleman who wanted 'to purchase it, but who had not kept his appointment. The prisoner then -- the table, took off his hat and wiped his face, declaring he could not take it back that day, and he hoped the sum he wanted would be advanced on it. The prisoner's manner having disarmed suspicion, a loan of 15s. was made on it. Mr. Knapp said when he went to Mr. Gifton about the table the greatest readiness was evinced on the part of the pawnbroker to furnish him with all the particulars. Mr. CONANT remarked that it was not the first time be had had occasion to observe that Mr. Gifton conducted his business in a respectable way. The young man at Mr. Donovan's said he saw the pri soner standing in the street with a marble table slab lying on the pavement, broken. The prisoner picked up the pieces, and was pitching them away, when he (witness) asked him to give him a piece. The prisoner, who was quite a stranger, handed him a piece, observing that he dared not take the fragments home to his master. The prisoner, in defence, said he was drunk at the time, or he should not have acted as he had done. He was remanded for a week. UNION-HALL. Yesterday a gentleman, whose son was unfortunately drowned a few weeks ago, was brought up from the Ro therhithe station-house, charged with attempting to com mit self-destruction. A policeman stated that about ten o'clock that morning, as he was on duty, he observed a gentleman at the water side at Rotherhithe, apparently labouring under very ex cited feelings ; his hands were clasped together, and he pre sented other indications of such a state of mind as would lead to the presumption that he was about to throw him self into the river. On seeing him in the situation described the policeman immediately went up, and having spoken to him no attention was paid to the question, the gentleman still exhibiting great excitement, upon which the former, with a view to avert any attempt at self-destruction, insisted upon his accompanying him to the station-house, to which lie assented, and was accordingly taken there and kept until brought before the Magistrate the following day. In reply to Mr. TRAIL!, the gentleman described that although he lamented the event, the death of his son, a pro mising young man, who was unfortunately drowned a short time ago in the river, yet that he (the father) did not con template such an act as that described to have been his in tention. He accounted for the circumstance of his having been found in the situation described to have arisen in con sequence of waiting for a friend whom he expected to have met near the spot, but who disappointed him. He added that he was not resident in town, bnt that he had a nephew, a barrister in Lincoln's-inn, who would be enabled to vouch that he (the uncle) never contemplated such an act as that which was the cause of his having been brought ty to that office. The MAGISTRATE said that the policeman had only done his duty upon seeing a gentleman labouring under such ex citement, at such a place and at such an hour, in taking him to the station-house to prevent an accident. The Ma gistrate added that as the gentleman had declared that he had no such intention in view as that which was at first supposed, he was at liberty to return to his lodgings. The gentleman said that lie considered it was a stretch of authority on the part of the policeman to have interfered with him, and complained of the fact of his having been de tained during the night in the station-house. The MAGlszaa Tr, however, said, that under the cir cumstances the policeman was justified in what he lied done, and that he only performed a benevolent act in en deavouring to save the life of a fellow creature, whom he had reasonable grounds for supposing intended to commit a rash and fatal act. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Thomas Rickers, a respectable looking man, about 60 years of age, was brought before Messrs. LAING and BENNETT, by Kimpton, the warant-officer of St. Pan cras, charged by Martha Rickers, his wife, about 40 years of age, with having deserted her, and leaving her chhrge able to the parish, under the following extraordinary cir cumstances : It appears that some years ago the prisoner became ac quainted with the prosecutor, to whom he paid his ad dresses, and they were eventually married at St. James's Church, West, but after the ceremony had taken place, in consequence of something that was said to the prisoner, be left his wife, and the marriage was never consummated. She had ever since been living separately from him, and latterly she was compelled to seek parochial relief, when she was re ceived into the workhouse, in a melancholy state of mind, and- she had, within a short period, made two attempts upon her life. About six weeks ago she made a deep in cision in her throat, but she was recovered. Shortly after wards she threw herself into a water-butt, in which situation she was discovered, and taken out in a state of insensibility ; but by prompt remedies being resorted to she was again re stored, and she had ever since been kept in the workhouse as a lunatic, preparatory to her removal to some place of safety, she having evinced symptoms of a deranged mind ; and the prisoner having been traced, he was apprehended by Kimpton. Mr. LAING inquired whether she was now in a proper state to be sworn ?—Keys, the overseer, replied that she was under the care of the parish surgeon as a lunatic, but her mind seemed to be more tranquil. Mr. LAING asked her how long it was since she was married to the prisoner ? Prosecutor (depressed)—Four or five years. Mr. LAlNG—Where did you live at the time? Prose cutor—ln Essex -street, Strand. Mr. LAING—And did he never live with you ? Prose cutor—Never. We certainly have been in bed together. Mr. LAlNG—Where were you married? Prosecutor— In St. James's-church, West. Mr. LAING—Has he never allowed you anything for your support ? Prosecutor—Never. It appeared from Kimpton's statement, that there was some secret cause, yet unexplained, that caused their sepa ration. He understood that after the ceremony the pri soner left her on the steps of the church door, somebody having whispered something to him, and that they nover slept together. Keys - said that he had questioned her and the prisoner, but he could not trace any settlement. Mr. LAING directed the officer to take her outside, when he asked the prisoner how he procured his livelihood. Prisoner said he was a daily labourer. Although he had not been compelled by the parish to allow her any thing, he had allowed her seven shillings per week ; and that she had eighteen pounds from him seven months ago, but lat terly his means were so narrowed that he could do nothing for her. Mr. LAING—What was your labour ? Prisoner--I am a gardener. Dir. LAING do you live ? PrisonQr—At Chelsea. Mr. LAING—Have you ever been a yearly servant ? Prisonet4 have been in gentlernens' service, as a weekly sei•tatal; qt flpttniirtg,tdn ; 'Warwickshire, where the prosecu trix also lived ds Mr. LAING—What is the reason that 7iiii!ert!, , ofir t ifs Prisoner—l am sorry to say she was imprudent, and Bran a little. Kimpton—She drank a great deal. LAINtt laid that insanity was generally the result of excessive drinking. He asked the prisoner where he was born ? Prisoner—At Bampstead. Mr. LAINti inquired whether it was the intention of the parish to cause her removal to a lunatic asylum ? Keys-- That entirely remains with the doctor a 3 to her state. Mr. LAING said it was clearly established that they had been married, and that she was left chargeable to the pa rish, and in the present stage of the proceeding it would be advisable to take her back to the workhouse, until further inquiries could be milde as to their legal settlement, and what was best to be done with her. Keys corroborated the man's statement that he had ;Al lowed her money, and parted with 181., and that his income was now very limited. Mr. LAING said that, judging from his demeanour there, coupled with that circumstance, induced him to believe him a respectable man, who wished to act properly, and he discharged him, conditionally, that he would attend at the office, on any future day, when called upon, which he pro tr.ised to do, and his wife was taken back to the ►workhouse. TOWN-HALL. Yesterday morning, D. Curtis, the landlord of the Star public-house, in Blackman-street, Borough, attended, by order of Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER, in consequence of a poor countryman having been " hocussed" and robbed in his house a few days since. The case had been adjourned from day to day since Tuesday last, in consequence of Curtis having left town on the day of the robbery to attend a fight at Oxford, and the worthy Alderman expressed his determination to sift the case to the bottom, another robbery, to the extent of 3751., having been committed, in the same house, only a few days since. It appeared by the evidence, that the complainant, who gave his name Richard Martin, and that he resided at No. 106, Ship-street, Brighton, came up to town on Saturday last, to sell some old iron, for which he received between seven and eight pounds. He then put up at the White Hart Inn, in the Borough, where he met a man who pre tended to have come from Brighton, and who inveigled him to go to Curtis's, where he was deluded into playing at cards, and betting, during which he was plied with liquor, and ultimately, on drinking some rum and water, which had been drugged, he became quite stupified, and the man who had introduced him to the house, took a five pound note and two sovereigns from him, and pretended to bet for him, and then lost. The party then quitted the house, leaving their dupe behind them, to bewail the loss of his money ; and, also, of a new beaver hat. On mentioning the loss of the latter, one man said he knew who had got it, and would take the complainant to him. The complainant accordingly accompanied him to several places, when the fellow, no doubt, presuming that the complainant was almost senseless from the effect of the narcotic (and which, in fact, was so powerful, that up to the present time he complains of the effect not having gone off), gave hime the slip, and no doubt thought that he would not he able to find the house again, bit he did, and gave in formation to the police. Immediately that the case was made known to the Alderman, he directed the officers to use the utmost diligence to discover and apprehend all the parties present at the time ; but with all their vigilance they had not been able to apprehend any of them. Both Curtis and his wife denied all knowledge of the parties, hut it appeared there was a familiarity existing be tween all of them which belied the assertion. Alderman FAREBROTHER now said the case should not rest here. He would take care Curtis's license should be suspended, and also directed an information to be laid against him for suffering gambling in his house. The complainant was given a trifle from the office fines.

To THE MEN OF IRELAND.—The Pilot of this day contains a powerful and eloquent appeal to the people who " once lifted a nation from the dust, and made the slave a man." They are counselled to be wary and wise, to be stirring and energetic, now—for " it is now that they should pull up the mischief by the roots ; the present is a golden opportunity." The address then announces, that "on Thursday next a member from the National Association will arrive in each of the counties in order to assist upon the spot, in creating the local organization which is abso lutely indispensable for collecting the strength of Ireland upon the coming registries. We trust that this is an oc casion that will not be lost." Great importance is very properly attached to the collection of the sinews of war. The " Justice Rent," comprehending, as it does, the attain ment of valuable political immunities, and the much re quired aid and relief of those who suffer for conscience sake, whether in the exercise of the franchise, or the re sistance of an odious impost, has claims upon the sympathies and generous liberality of all. THE REGISTRIES—THE WHIG ARISTOCRACY.—It is lamentable to observe that the Tories have the superiority in so many Irish constituencies, where, from what we know of the political statistics of the country, the case would be directly the reverse, if all classes of Reformers did their duty. The advantage of the enemy in the places we allude to is the fair guerdon—we are bound to say—of superiority in the science of party warfare. It is not by dint of inac tivity, or force of disunion, that the Tories defeat the Libe rals. We can eulogise even the virtues of our foes ; and we feel ourselves bound to say that the Irish Orange aris tocracy are models for public imitation in the whole art of political strategy and tactics. They work incessantly ; they associate compactly ; they move vigorously ; they contribute bountifully. No emergency ever finds them unready ; no contest ever takes them by surprise. All their appointments are complete. They have their agents, clubs, and local associations everywhere. Their very private dinner-parties are registration societies. The parlour of every Orange. proprietor in Ireland is an election club-room.—Dublin Freeman ' s Journal. At one o'clock on Saturday the registry terminated. The numbers registered when the Court closed were— Liberals G Tories . The Liberal party have a majority of thirty-nine for the week. The gross majority obtained by Reformers on the entire past registry is seventy-five. This leaves us grounds for congratulating our Liberal friends on their victory. TIIE ORANGEMEN OF WEXFORD.—It seems that amongst the Enniscorthy police there is an Orange con stable, one Dempsey. This person was ordered by the authorities to prevent, as far as he could, Orange displays in that place on the 12th of July. How he performed that duty we shall not now stop to enquire. Suffice it to say, that he was ordered from his station at Enniscorthy to some place in the county of Cork. Dempsey, however, bad friends in Wexford ; and, through the memorials or repre sentations of these friends, he had the good luck to have the order recalled, and had his domicile fixed once more amongst his brethren of the Wexford Lodges. The following paragraph, from the Wexford Independent, will show the feeling entertained of the matter in that county :—" We are astonished at the report just reached us, that. the order, which gave us so much satisfaction, and was one of the good results of the investigation holden in Enniscorthy, for the removal of constable Dempsey from that town, to a station in the county Cork, has been coun termanded. We are not now prepared to say from what cause ; but we are assured an individual has interfered with the Government in this matter, whose name (when before the public, if our correspondent correctly informs us), will not only cause astonishment but disgust. To what state will power, by secret working, at length reduce us ? When it was announced by the magistrates on Thursday, in the open court of Enniscorthy, that Dempsey would not be re moved from that town, three distinct rounds of the Kentish fire, the Orangeman's feu de joie, followed. This speaks trumpet-tongued." There are two things to be observed —first, the Magistrates announced from the Bench the re-appointment of the Orange Constable ; and that, next, in a Court of Justice, the Kentish fire was given—the galleries, as we understand being crammed with Orangemen to hear the announcement, and to celebrate their triumph over the mass of the population. It is needless to say, that in such magistrates the people cannot have, and ought not to have, the slightest confidence. These magistrates disdain even the craft of appearing im partial. They have the indecency of parading their poli tics, and expressing their contempt and hatred of the peo ple, for whom they are appointed to administer justice. With a view to evince this disposition still more emphati cally, they announce, in a tone of triumph, that an odious Orangeman has been placed in a position which brings him into constant contact with the people ; and the temper and malignity with which the announcement is made, was caught up and reverberated by the packed galleries, brought to gether to glorify the Orange victory. Lord Haddington's Orange Ovation at the Dublin Theatre was regarded with disgust—and justly. What are we to think of a Court of Justice indulging in the Saturnalia of Orange triumph ? But, we turn to another part of this county, in which still more extraordinary scenes are enacted. Will it be credited in England, that a practice prevails in Gorey, which does not exist in C ons t an ti no pl e , n ot at any time, or in any country in which the name of justice, (we shall not speak of liberty,) has been heard—viz., that the Court decide with closed doors !—th a t th e y do not let the public in to hear their discussions ! Strange—almost incredible as it may appear—the statement is literally correct, as will appear by the following Memorial addressed to the Lord 'BPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNAL.
